Pretty decent. Probably my least favorite book by Murata so far, but not terrible. The stories mostly revolved around food and the way it interacts with people. Some of my favorite stories were “Eating the City”, “Two’s Family”, and “Hatchling”. I especially like how the author can mix messages into freaky stories that make your skin crawl! There were also some heart-warming tales in here, and some ones about interesting family dynamics. This was a pretty short read, and good if you especially enjoy Sayaka Murata’s other books.
